What Gamespot Users have to say about Jagged Alliance: Back in Action

I think the reviews are very unfair to the game. At the beginning I has also taken aback by the game's difficulty and steep learning curve but now I have become addicted to it. It is definitely not a shooter. It require... Read Full Review

As an enormous Jagged Alliance 2 fan, i was quite excited when i heard about this remake. The screen shots looked alright, so i figured i'd give it a shot. This game is marketed as a JA2 remake, with the story being ... Read Full Review
